If 950 of the last 1,000 blocks are nVersion=2, reject nVersion=1
(or zero, but no bitcoin release has created block.nVersion=0) blocks
-- 75 of last 100 on testnet3.
This rule is being put in place now so that we don't have to go
through another "express support" process to get what we really
want, which is for every single new block to include the block height
in the coinbase.
"Version 2" blocks are blocks that have nVersion=2 and
have the block height as the first item in their coinbase.
Block-height-in-the-coinbase is strictly enforced when
version=2 blocks are a supermajority in the block chain
(750 of the last 1,000 blocks on main net, 51 of 100 for
testnet). This does not affect old clients/miners at all,
which will continue producing nVersion=1 blocks, and
which will continue to be valid.
- extend bitcoin-qt.rc to include meta information, which is displayed on
Windows, when looking in the executable properties and selecting
"Details"
- does currently NOT include version information, this is scheduled
for later releases
- for RC-file documentation see:

This is the last time for 0.7.0. We should avoid message changes
until the release. Translators can use the remaining time to update their languages on
Transifex.
The other languages need to be merged from Transifex just before release.
Signrawtransaction rpc was crashing when some inputs were unknown,
and even with that fixed was failing to handle all the known inputs
if there were unknown inputs in front of them. This commit instead
attempts to fetch inputs one at a time.
- this enables DEP on all Windows version which support the
SetProcessDEPPolicy() call in Kernel32.dll
- use a dynamic approach via GetProcAddress() to not rely on headers or
compiler libs
- this is the same way the Tor-project does it
- add enableApplyButton() and disableApplyButton() to optionsdialog.{h/cpp}
- they are used to ensure the Ok button does not get disabled, when Apply needs to be disabled (standard UX should allow Ok always to dismiss the dialog and only disable it, when we have a faulty proxy IP)
- disable Apply after initially loading the settings, as nothing new needs to be saved
- remove orphan settings from optionsdialog.ui that are default anyway
- If the height is in the first half, start at the genesis block and go up, rather than at the top
- Cache the last lookup and use it as a reference point if it's close to the next request, to make linear lookups always fast
- ensure warnings always start with "Warning:" and that the first
character after ":" is written uppercase
- ensure the first sentence in warnings ends with an "!"
- remove unneeded spaces from Warning-strings
- add missing Warning-string translation
- remove a "\n" and replace with untranslatable "<br><br>"
- place "-?" option at first
- re-work description and "\n" usage for Gavins new block creation options
to better match current description syntax
- ensure no "\n" is in translated strings, which is better for Transifex
The new bytes are based on "11" to appeal to Gavin's 11 fetish.
This breaks existing testnet3 nodes as the blockchain files
are also versioned. To upgrade a node delete everything
except wallet.dat from your .bitcoin/testnet3 folder.
Modify CreateNewBlock so that instead of processing all transactions
in priority order, process the first 27K of transactions in
priority order and then process the rest in fee-per-kilobyte
order.
This is the first, minimal step towards better a better fee-handling
system for both miners and end-users; this patch should be easy
to backport to the old versions of Bitcoin, and accomplishes the
most important goal-- allow users to "buy their way in" to blocks
using transaction fees.
- remove duplicate includes, that are already present in ui_optionsdialog.h
- change QIntValidator to not allow 0 as port-number
- re-order some function calls to match the Ui element order, for better readbility and to prepare for the addition of further IPv6 and Tor proxy options
- restat warning for the language selection is only shown, when the language was changed (not on simply activating the Ui element)
- split check for object == ui->proxyIp into seperate if-clause
- micro-optimize the code in the above mentioned if-clause
- unify used format for comments in the code
- introduce handleProxyIpValid() function, which handles UI elements and the
save button states for valid/invalid proxy IPs
